Lonely and unloved

[Mpze]

In a relationship but feel so lonely, grown up children have moved out, I live alone and partner of 6 years lives alone also (we're both divorcees). Over the past 4/5months due to shifts/work etc we hardly see each other, we are drifting apart when we used to have so much fun together. Due to boredom on my part being alone so much and no friends I've gained weight and he's just told me "I'm just not into fat people"! He says he loves me to bits as i do him but I feel like I've been kicked to the kerb and just makes me want to comfort eat. How do we get on track? Any advice please xx

I'm not sure you can get back on track with someone who's said that, presumably in reference to you? It's cruel and shows him in an awful light.

But you can get yourself back on track. If you're alone a lot and without many friends, you pretty much have to make yourself get out of the house and do a hobby or activity that gets you active and meeting people. What could you see yourself doing? I started a gardening course and it has made a difference. It's led to a few social things and a new interest. You need that regardless of what happens with your partner.

Absolutely.

Exactly that, get to a place where you are happy with yourself regardless of what relationship with partner is like. Not for him but for yourself.
It’s a shallow thing of him to say and quite cruel. What if he gets bald and you say ‘im just not into bald people’?

What a cheeky git he is! It's possibly him that's making you feel so bad. You're lucky, you have your own place. I would strongly consider getting rid of the idiot.

His response to you is awful, the only reason i could consider for that is if your weight is affecting your health and he has tried all other ways to encourage you to lose weight and is hoping that a shock pain for you approach might work? If that is not the case then work on yourself, you don't need any man that shallow in your life, and curves are hot anyway 😜

Sorry, wrong thread.
